I "temporarily deactivated" my facebook last night. and honestly, it feels liberating! I wasn't looking forward to ever doing this but I found myself feeling disconnected from real life. Conversations I'd have over the phone were being held over facebook, when I would be with friends, and I'd want to tell them a story and I'd think, "I said it on facebook." I was taking pictures JUST to put them on facebook.
So on Saturday night I was in the shower and I thought, "...I want the old way of communicating back. I want to call my friends to see how they are doing instead of relying on their "Status updates"" So I deleted it. Yeah, it was a fast decision and multiple times I thought about going back and changing my mind (especially reading every one's comments saying such nice things) but I know I was prompted to get rid of it. So I did. and FOR ME, I think it's something I really needed to do. I may be back on sometime soon or in the future or never again, we'll just see what happens. I'm not making any promises though.

P.S. This is more of a personal reason than anything, so please don't be offended or think that I care whether or not you facebook. I really don't. :)

I am so proud of you Bobbi. I can't tell you how many people tell me to get on Facebook and I refuse. For the same reason you deleted, I like communicating the old fashion way. Well, maybe it's no so old fashion but you know what I mean. Calling people and TALKING to them is wonderful. Good for you!!!!
Bobbi! I really like this. I think it is a great idea! I also miss calling and visiting people as opposed to just FBing. <3 you.
